Lettuce for forcing

(6)

Lactuca sativa var. capitata TSW 1.25 - 1.7 g, 600 - 800 seeds in 1 g. Lettuce requires good, sufficiently airy soil in II. track. It is demanding to supply nutrients in an instantly acceptable form. We recommend sunny location. When sowing directly on the flower bed, sow the seeds in shallow rows or pinches in a 25 x 25 to 30 x 30 cm spacing and after germination we sort out young plants. For pre-growing of seedlings, sow the seeds in shallow boxes and replant young plants at the stage of making the right leaves of the plant with spacing 4 x 4 cm. Day temperatures are maintained at 16 - 20 °C, at 4 - 6 °C at night. Planting when is 4 - 6 right leaves on the plant put them shalow on the flower bed so we do not cover the heart of the plant. Irrigate regularly with smaller doses of water.
